Tweet of the Day: "Has anyone predicted the 2011-12 Lakers will be a lottery team yet? If not, I'd like to call dibs." -- sportsguy33 (ESPN.com's Bill Simmons)

Rick Friedman Reader Comment of the Day: "Bynum and Gasol is a VERY formidable front line to boast in your starting 5 line up. However, Gasol is turning 31 soon and relying on Bynum to play 70 to 80 games a year is a HUGE risk. I love Bynum's game and attitude, don't get me wrong. BUT we have a legit chance to bring the greatest center/athlete in the league to our team to play alongside Kobe.. and he's only 26! " -- Brian Bubrick
